The image captures a vibrant open-air market scene in Lagos, Nigeria. In the foreground, a woman with her back to the viewer wears a red and white striped dress and a brown patterned headwrap. A baby with braided hair is secured to her back in a colorful, patterned fabric carrier. This woman faces a vendor, identifiable as a woman in a white headwrap and green top, who stands behind a large market stall. The vendor's stall features a prominent display of dark brown, ring-shaped smoked fish, meticulously stacked in multiple tiers on woven mats and baskets. The stall is supported by a wooden stand, and below the main display, black plastic bags and small, colorful textile items are visible. The vendor looks directly forward, towards the observer. In the midground, a bustling environment unfolds. To the left, a blue umbrella shades an adjacent stall or area. To the right, a yellow Keke Napep (tricycle taxi) is parked, with at least two passengers visible inside: one in a green dress and another in a red shirt. The rear section of a white vehicle is partially visible behind the vendor's stall. The background reveals simple, unpainted buildings with corrugated metal roofs, indicating an established market area. The entire scene is partially shaded by overhead canopies, one dark and one light-colored, suggesting either an overcast day or intentional sun protection. The ground beneath the market activity is unpaved.
